Hi-Fi Corner

Joe and Charlie just left, we listened to a few CDs, vinyl, streaming, etc...great time I had, and I hope they did too.  So much information to discuss between the 3 of us, I think we could have talked for several days straight.   I'm...

Brainfreeze - I want to do some A/B comparisons with my 300 vs.  a non Naim amp but can't remember what to connect - the manual is beyond my comprehension, so please help!   TIA   MIke

Finally a follow you to this http://forums.naimaudio.com/topic/is-this-room-too-small which I posted months back. Finally I moved in.   And it sound fine after all, though maybe that me hearing my own sistem thru rose tinted earmuffs. ...

I have an entry level system 112X 150X CD5X and a FC2 which is powering the 112X and the CD5X. Looking at adding a 202 with a NASPC instead of my 112X. Should I power the 202 with my existing FC2 or just off the 150x amp?? What would be the better...

I decided to set my CDX2 up again and bring it out of hypernation. It did mean purchasing a new power / bunrndy cap as I lost my orginal. Any way all set up on a spare Fraim shelf,and a Hiline into the 252.. I can't remember having played it since I...

Weeks ago I received my Linn Lp12 Akurate level (Akito - Klyde - Lingo) and now I have to decide if I go with the Uphorik or Superline.  As usual, I can't audition because dealers here don't have any unit in stock. Any comments/advice in terms of...

I have been thinking about my satisfaction with Hifi in general (maybe I have a bit too much time on my hands) and believe it can be split into long term and short term.   Long Term: This is probably more to do with competing hobbies/past times...

Does Naim have a general rule of thumb in keeping CDP transports stocked for repair purposes? More specifically,  since the CD5 XS was introduced in 2009, are there any definitive thoughts or plans to still be able to offer a replacement...

I would like to change speakers and improve my system : Naim Supernait 2 with Hicap Naim NDS/XPSDR (soon…I have for now Naim CD5 XS and Naim Dac/XPSDR) Naim Powerlines Loudspeakers Sonus Faber Liuto tower with Naca5 cables I would change my Sonus Faber Liuto and would have selected these choices: Proac Response D48 Ribbon Spendor A9 B&W 804 D3 B&W 803 D3 (but the SUPERNAIT is able to drive them?)

Dear all,    i was wondering, can i use supernait as a pre for a non Naim power amp? as in variable RCA out?     

I have just bought a Super Lumina interconnect, and SL speaker leads for my system, which I am extremely pleased with. The system is 555CD, 555PS, 555PS, 552, LP12, NAT05, Snaxo/Supercap and a pair of 500 amps into SL2 speakers, all on Fraim and fed by Powerlines. My next purchase was to be SL interconnects for the LP12 and tuner, but my dealer has suggested it might be better to complete the SL loom and go for the DIN/XLR leads first. This seems a sensible route, but as I have an active...

Are there any Supernait 2 users here who are using the amp in a passive, stereo biamped configuration?   In the SN2's  manual,  biamping is depicted with the NAP 200. There've been previous threads on this forum which say this is the...

I was reading a paper on Neuroimaging applications in marketing (Plassman et al 2015 Consumer Neuroscience: Applications, Challenges, and Possible Solutions, Journal of Marketing research for those interested) and came across the paragraph below. Measuring Implicit Processes Neuroscience techniques can provide information about implicit processes that are typically difficult to access using other approaches . For example, situations in which the decision maker is unaware of or unable to...

Hi, I’m planning to buy a new headphone . I’m confused between these two brands. Sennheiser Momentum Wireless Bluetooth Headphone or Parrot Zik 2.0 Bluetooth Headphone. Price is same for both . I’m planning to buy headphone from bay bloor radio near my home in toronto as it will be easier to access repair service if required. I have used sennheiser headset before and i’m completely satisfied with it. Since I saw a another brand under same price i got a little confused. Please suggest me...

I have at last managed to sort out my system following a move, which comprises Gyrodeck/RB300/Dynavector DV10x5, Graham Slee phono amp, Uniti, NAP 200 and SBL’s. I have also managed a few upgrades e.g. power supply for my gyrodeck and phono amp. I’m very pleased with the overall results, especially how good vinyl sounds even with discs I bought 40 years ago (even better when I’ve used the Spinclean, one of my favourite “upgrades&rdquo . So, although I might be tempted to upgrade the arm...

I've ordered the 172/155 combo today. :-)    Could do with making a speaker shortlist, your opinion, options and experiences would be grateful.

Similar to the question of CD player in which the standard answer on these forums would be CDS3...what are the generally accepted,  "golden" separates pairs out there?  Chrome / Olive :)

Just a shallow question on fascia's.   I've recently purchased a system consisting of a 172/155XS, both are virtually NOS. The 172 was manufactured in 2013 and was a factory sealed unit when it arrived last week. The 155 also arrived last...

I found a power Heed Orbit 1 first set without speed change 33/45 rpm . My Rega P25 needs modification on the power circuit . I wonder if anyone knows and can tell me how to do it .

Hi all,   I bought my first Naim black box in 2005 (CDX2) after a long demo at my the local dealers. I sampled much of the range at this session an had a good idea about what I wanted. In 2006 I completed the Naim experience  with 300/282...

Hi!   Have any of you listened to KEF Blade, KEF Reference 5, Marten Getz 2 or Marten Bird 2 in a Naim system?   What system was used and did you think it was a good match between speakers and the Naim electronics?   Best regards! /Marcus

I am getting closer to buying an NDS, 555 PS, etc. for my two-channel system. This is an expensive therefore relatively permanent choice, so I would appreciate any help with the following:    - Any hope for TIDAL with...

I have a chance to buy an unserviced 62/140 combo. I would use it in a LP12/es14 system. I am presently using a Brio r in said system. Would the 62/140 (once serviced) be an upgrade over the Brio r ?   Thanks in advance,   BBM

Hello All,   I recently put my Naim gear away as I was playing with some new amplifier kit from a friend and forgot to make notes on how things were connected!    I have a NAC72, NAP140 and HICAP. Would appreciate some hand-holding here...
